Abstract
The receptacle (10) includes a main receptacle tank (12) for receiving a toilet plunger (18) and a volume of sanitizing solution. The bell (20) of the plunger (18) is positioned between a lower brush (26) and an upper brush (24) so that rotation of the plunger handle abrades both the interior and exterior surfaces of the bell (20) against the upper (24) and lower (26) brushes. The tank (12) of the receptacle (10) further receives and holds a sanitizing solution to disinfect the toilet plunger (18). A pair of upper access doors (14, 16) may be provided for allowing the user access to the interior of the tank (12). A drainage hole (30) is formed through a lower surface (40) of the tank (12), allowing for the drainage of used sanitizing solution.
Description
- The present invention relates to janitorial cleaning equipment and household cleaning appliances, and particularly to a toilet plunger cleaning receptacle for sanitizing and cleaning a toilet plunger. In particular, the receptacle includes a main tank for receiving a volume of sanitizing solution, a bell-shaped toilet plunger (“a toilet plunger bell”) and a pair of brushes for providing abrasive cleaning of the bell of the toilet plunger.
- Toilet brushes and toilet plungers are common household implements that require special sanitary care and cleaning, due to their regular and frequent exposure to fecal matter and other biological waste products. Typical cleaning systems for toilet brushes and toilet plungers only provide minimal disinfection of the toilet implements, generally through the application of a sanitizing solution, and are not effective at removing solid waste products from the implements.
- Typical toilet plunger cleaners generally only include means for immersing a toilet plunger in some sort of cleaning solution. No separate brushes, or similar devices, are provided for abrading waste from the plunger is provided. Other common systems are designed merely to retain a plunger and do not provide any means for either sanitizing the plunger or holding other implements, such as a toilet brush. Thus, a multifunctional toilet plunger cleaning receptacle solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- This disclosure is directed to a toilet plunger cleaning receptacle with an upper brush and a lower brush. The receptacle has a tank dimensioned and configured for receiving a toilet plunger and a volume of sanitizing solution. The tank has a lower surface and at least one sidewall extending from the lower surface to define an open upper end. At least one door is pivotally mounted on the upper end of the receptacle tank. The door selectively seals the open upper end of the receptacle tank. The door has a plunger hole that is dimensioned and configured to hold the handle of the plunger. The receptacle includes a lower brush disposed within the tank. The lower brush is attached to the lower surface of the receptacle tank. The lower surface of the receptacle tank includes a drainage hole. An upper brush is also disposed within the tank and attached to the sidewall of the receptacle tank. The upper brush is positioned adjacent the lower brush. A faucet extends from the drainage hole for controlling drainage of the sanitizing solution through the drainage hole. In operation, the toilet plunger is inserted into the receptacle tank with the plunger handle projecting through the plunger hole. An interior surface of the toilet plunger bell contacts the lower brush, and an exterior surface of the bell contacts the upper brush. The receptacle is filled with the sanitizing solution in order to clean the bell when the plunger handle is rotated.
- The disclosure is also directed to a toilet plunger cleaning receptacle that does not include an upper brush. The toilet plunger cleaning receptacle has a tank that is dimensioned and configured for receiving a toilet plunger and a volume of sanitizing solution. The tank has a lower surface and at least one sidewall extending from the lower surface to define an open upper end. At least one door is pivotally mounted on the upper end of the receptacle tank so that the door selectively seals the open upper end of the receptacle tank. The door has a plunger hole and is configured to receive a handle of the plunger. The toilet plunger cleaning receptacle also includes a lower brush disposed within the tank. The lower brush is attached to the lower surface of the receptacle tank. The lower surface of the receptacle tank includes a drainage hole. A faucet extends from the drainage hole for controlling drainage of the sanitizing solution through the drainage hole. In operation, the toilet plunger is inserted into the receptacle tank with the plunger handle projecting through the plunger hole. An interior surface of the toilet plunger bell contacts the lower brush. The receptacle is filled with the sanitizing solution in order to clean the bell when the plunger handle is rotated.

lower surface 40 oftank 12 has adrainage hole 30 formed therethrough with afaucet 32 controlling flow of sanitizing solution through thehole 30. Following disinfection of the toilet cleaning implements, the used sanitizing solution may be drained off and collected in a receptacle placed undersystem 10, or connected to any other suitable drainage receptacle, such as a bathroom sink. - Further, a pair of
legs 28 are secured to a lower end oftank 12, forming a stand for thereceptacle 10. As shown in the alternative embodiment ofFIG. 3 ,legs 28 may be pivotally retracted beneath thetank 12 through the addition of pivotal mounting elements, such as hinges 50, and may lock into an extended position. In the embodiment ofFIGS. 1 and 2 , thelegs 28 are fixed in their extended positions without the use ofhinges 50 and are, thus, nonretractable.Receptacle 10 may be mounted on any suitable surface, such as the bathroom floor, on top of the toilet, or positioned over the sink. Thereceptacle 10 is portable and may be positioned in any suitable environment selected by the user. - In the alternative embodiment of
FIG. 3 , theupper brush 24 has been removed. In the embodiment ofFIG. 3 , thetoilet plunger 18 is cleaned solely through immersion of thebell portion 20 within the sanitizing solution, and further through rotation of thebell portion 20 about thelower brush 26. - In operation,
tank 12 is filled with a sanitizing solution in order to clean and disinfect the toilet plunger andtoilet brush 22. The sanitizing solution may be poured intotank 12 through the opening ofdoors inlet 44 may be provided through an upper sidewall oftank 12, as shown inFIG. 1 .
